5.00Whether hot or cold, make sure to dress appropriately! It was a super cold night and I didn’t think to bring a scarf and dress warmly enough. Also, recommend at the front end of a trip so you see the highlights and make sure you hit the right stops. Also, Emma was a great guide that shared great insights and some awesome shopping tips.

London After Dark

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Our family took the Golden Tours London by Night experience after enjoying their daytime tour, and it was absolutely worth it. Seeing London lit up after dark is a completely different kind of magic. The live guide made the evening even better — not just pointing out the major sights, but weaving in side stories and bits of history that gave the city real personality. If you want a relaxed, beautifully paced way to see London at night, I highly recommend this tour. We left feeling like we’d seen the city from a whole new angle.

2.00I had chosen this tour specifically because we could benefit from the audio guide in French. No audio guides worked in any language. We reported it to Mathew but he just replied: "I know." This is very disappointing especially as we were with children who do not understand English.
Marathon Weekend is No Match for Emma!

5.00The tour was fantastic! Our tour was a slightly different route due to the London Marathon, and Emma was a great guide. Would go again if I knew she was going to be our guide!
